karl.

Got a chance to buy one of these, how much are they worth? I dont think it has even been fitted to a car yet.

Just bought a set of these yesterday, couldn't see any pictures of them on a Glanza, cheers

Thanks very much for that Daniel, I will make my own kit up if I ever have my engine out.

If you get the chassis plate from him they will allow you to insure it on that.

No it's the south. Our insurance covers us to drive to the south without any problems but so maybe the same for you?

If you buy it from northern Ireland your insurance covers you.

That's based around 30 mins from some of us NI members. If somebody is actually very interested let some of us know and I'm sure we could go get a look at it for you.

I'm just after building a wee 1.2 engine and didn't clean out the intake manifold and as soon as it was started little bits of metal got sucked in a scored the bores, not really worth risking. Any major bit of pressure could suck in little bits of metal from the intercooler fins

If it is mind I still have the ep82 harness that will fit this. a deal can be done

Well either way all I'm looking is something responsive and pulls the whole way to the red line. I would rather have a car that's 280bhp and responsive compared to something that's 380 and a saxo can pull away from before it gets going. This is why I'm thinkin a high comp 5e with td04 with cams sounds great.

Would you rather deck the block to meet compression then? There isnt really any other way to do it, from what I can tell flat top pistons arn't ideal either. So the only way to raise compression is skimming. Tuning wont be a problem either and I will most likely stick with a td04 then maybe a Wepr Billet Td04.

Any body ordering the one above just watch because its the oil pump that has the ca emissions meaning it won't fit because it has space for a crank sensor I'm near sure it is.

So I have finally decided on a spec for the engine. It will running 10cc wiesco dished pistons along with a 0.5mm head gasket. This will leave it with a pretty average compression ratio. The biggest factor is I will be running high lift cams along with this. Does this mean I can go for a higher compression ratio as there will be a slight overlap with 265 degree cams? Do you suggest getting the block and head skimmed to increase to ratio to around 9:1 - 9.5:1?

Adam I only plan to run around 1.2/4 bar. Would you reccomend a high compression build for that sort of boost? I will be running some high lift cams too if that makes a difference. I need to know before I go get my blocked skimmed as well.

Thanks very much for that, it helps a lot. Here's the picture for anybody that can't see it.

Might sound silly but have you connected the pipe from the turbo feed back up to the waste gate?

That's a good start Colin thanks, I will be skimming the deck along with the head and using wiesco 10cc pistons so going by that I shouldn't have any problems

Does anybody know what the clearance is on a standard 5efe engine with a 0.5mm head gasket? Even 4efte with a standard gasket would be fine I'm hopeing to build a high compression 5e engine but I want to keep it non interference. I will also be using high lift cams so I will need to add a extra 1mm or so to the valve opening. Any info is appreciated.

You shouldnt do Colin, Its in the EU so no duty

Seems to be another white one there too.

Dibs on antilift kit and abs removal kit if it's still there please

I could get you the numbers of a few haulage companies from over here that specialize in car that would probably do it for you? Could you give me a rough location of both address?

Bump

That's not a bad price to be honest. If I was getting a car brought home to Ni from England it would be 250-350. Would you not consider flying over and driving it back? A day out at least sure.
